What are the Texas separation laws?

May 16, 2012
Written by Christopher Migliaccio

There are no Texas separation laws. In other words, a separation is not legally-binding. If you are dealing with a complicated case and require legal assistance, a divorce lawyer at Warren & Migliaccio may be able to help.

The state of Texas is considered a community property state. This means that if you are a married couple and you decide to live apart, your property cannot be separated. This includes your house, income, children, and so on.

The only way to legally separate your property and decide issues such as child custody and support, or who gets the house, is to go through the divorce process. The court will then decide on those matters.

A separation can help figure out if a marriage is savable. It is a time to think about the direction you are going, how it will impact the children, your finances, and so much more. But since Texas does not recognize separation in its laws as a legal condition, you cannot enforce the separation of property. Family law can be a very complicated area, which is why you may require legal representation.

Contacting a Texas Divorce Lawyer

It is never an easy decision when a couple decides to end their marriage. It becomes especially complicated when there are children or assets involved.

If you need help navigating through the process, the attorneys at Warren & Migliaccio may be able to help. We have years of experience and will use that training to provide you peace of mind for the future.

No matter how complicated you think your divorce may be, there is a way to see it through to reach the best solution. From the initial consultation until the day your divorce is finalized, the Texas family law team at Warren & Migliaccio is here to advocate on your behalf and that of your children.
